Features
Connect a High-Performance NVMe Drive to Your Computer’s USB-C or Thunderbolt 3 PortWhen
the hard drive on your laptop is not large enough to hold all your photos, videos, music and documents,
Tripp Lite’s U457-1M2-NVMEG2 is the solution to help get the storage space you need and retrieve data
stashed on NVMe drives. This dependable enclosure adapter allows you to connect an M.2 NGFF NVMe
solid state drive (M-Key) to any device with a USB-C or Thunderbolt 3 port, including a MacBook,
Ultrabook or Chromebook.
Transfers Data at Lightning-Fast USB 3.1 Gen 2 Speeds with UASP SupportThis adapter supports
USB 3.1 Gen 2 data transfer rates up to 10 Gbps, which is twice the speed of USB 3.1 Gen 1, to give you
more data storage, retrieval and backup capacity. It reads data up to 70 percent faster and writes up to 40
percent faster when connected to a UASP-enabled host controller. The enclosure is backward compatible
with previous USB generations, allowing you to use it with older equipment.
Reversible USB-C Connector Attaches in Either DirectionUnlike traditional USB cables that connect in
only one direction, the reversible USB-C male connector plugs into a USB-C or Thunderbolt 3 port in
either direction for a fumble-free connection every time.
Just Plug and Play for Immediate Use Right Out of the PackageNo software, drivers or external power
supply is required. The U457-1M2-NVMEG2 is compatible with all USB-enabled operating systems,
including Windows, Mac and Linux. Its slim aluminum case fits easily into your laptop bag, backpack or
briefcase so you can take it with you wherever you go.
